| | Bikini Science--Christie Brinkley |
 | | Brinkley's bikini career always hinged at wearing the smallest bikinis (CB7950, CB8205), but it is not until the early 1980s that she reintroduces bare-butted designs in Sports Illustrated, wearing a string halter and tanga in 1980 (CB8001), and introducing the maillot g-string the following year (CB8101). |
 | | Although few of Brinkley's elder peers are prepared to go head to head with her endless buttage exposures (for example CB8401), some, including rival Tiegs, are prepared to bend the rules in an arena where Brinkley draws a firm line, that of the topless bikini. |
 | | Although Brinkley is prepared to flirt with nudity (CB8501), overt nudity demarcates her generation, for the younger models, starting with Janice Dickinson and continuing through the 1960s-born Cindy Crawford and Stephanie Seymour, express no such reserve, and pose topless and nude. |
